Adventure tourism
Chile is a destination that invites you to challenge your limits, explore the unknown and feel the rush of adrenaline, all immersed in untamed natural environments: experience the thrill of admiring this hypnotic landscape after hours of walking. Can you feel the goose bumps? You'll find plenty of trekking trails to choose from in the vast Andes mountains: from hikes in northern Chile, in the middle of the Altiplano at an altitude of more than 4,000 metres, to mountain climbing routes in the Torres del Paine National Park.
Impressive mountains and volcanoes await you to practise skiing or snowboarding and, if you like to live life in the fast lane, be sure to try sandboarding: slide down the endless dunes of Mars Valley in San Pedro de Atacama, down the "Dragon Dune" in the town of Iqueque, or at the Valparaíso and Viña del Mar beaches. Want more? Go canopying and zipline through leafy landscapes.
The immensity of the Pacific Ocean invites you to practise all kinds of water sports, from diving and surfing to kayaking and kitesurfing. And if you're a fan of fishing, don't miss the Patagonian rivers and lakes, one of the finest places in the world to practise fly fishing and catch the famous Chilean trout.
